Well, since a duly shamed Sony decided to release ‘The Interview” after all, we might as well do an encore beat down on North Korea, Obama (well okay, so every week is an encore of that), Al Sharpton, the mess in Washington, etc. I’m still wondering if Seth Rogen and James Flacco Franco were the real hackers, and this was just a publicity stunt to rescue what looked to be a very weak, career-retarding movie. Like New Coke, or Windows 8.

I’m tempted to call this The Most Obama Thing Ever but realistically it is and can only be number two on that list. To make it to number one, O would have had to tee off while standing underneath the couple’s trellis, the ball perched atop a champagne glass engraved with their initials, while the bride sobbed quietly in the background. He’s got two years as president left; I give him 50/50 odds of making it happen eventually.

He did end up calling the bride and apologizing — after Bloomberg Politics called the White House and asked for a comment on what happened, alerting them to the fact that a story was in the works. Exit question: O’s approval rating within the military is 15/55 according to the most recent Military Times poll. What’ll it be next month once Drudge inevitably picks this up?

Luggage, a plane door, oxygen tanks, an emergency slide and at least 40 bodies have been discovered in the Java Sea — all confirmed to have come from the missing AirAsia flight 8501 that disappeared on Sunday.

The Daily Mail reports that the bodies and debris were found floating in the water some 100 miles off the coast of Borneo Island after three days of searching for the Airbus A320-200 that was on its way from Indonesia to Singapore when it vanished.
